January 11, 2013

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The AMA
Vintage Dirt Track National Championship Series kicks off its 2013 season on
March 9 in Savannah, Ga. The popular series features period-correct vintage
dirt-track motorcycles and exciting handlebar-to-handlebar racing action.

"The American Motorcyclist Association has a long and rich history in
dirt-track racing, dating to the original factory Class-A competition in the
1920s," said AMA Track Racing Manager Ken Saillant. "When the Class-C
production-based format made its debut, the sport's popularity grew, laying the
foundation for modern competition. We're excited to continue paying tribute to
our past with this series, and we're looking forward to another action-packed
season of racing for our amateur competitors."

The AMA Vintage Dirt Track National Championship Series recognizes national
champions in period-correct classes that reflect the storied history of AMA
dirt-track competition. Class winners are honored at the annual AMA
Championship Banquet, which recognizes national champions in all AMA-sanctioned
disciplines.
